NRHEG students Lillie Nielsen and T.J. Schiltz were picked in the Top 10 to compete at the Texaco Country Showdown at Buster’s Bar and Grill in Mankato Friday night, July 26 at 8 p.m.
The Texaco Showdown is where stars like Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus and Sara Evans got their start on the road to stardom. They have a chance to win the $100,000.00 grand prize.
Recently Lillie and T.J. performed in the Ellendale Talent Show. T.J. won first place overall and Lillie was fourth. T.J. and Lillie did a performance together which Lillie’s mom and dad, Amy and Brian Nielsen, video taped and submitted the video to the Texaco Country Showdown Web site.

Together with the Nielsens, Tom and Patricia Schiltz wish them the best on this journey. They are two very talented kids.
